Ramona water district adopts regional water management plan, pursues $4.8M in grants
The Ramona Municipal Water District board on July 12 adopted the San Diego Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan as an avenue to $4.8 million in grants. The water district has already applied for the funds available through IRWM grants. The source of the funds is Proposition 1 — the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act — which was approved by California voters in 2014 and authorizes $510 million in IRWM funding. Grants available to the Ramona water district are nearly $2.43 million for The Acres safe drinking water project and $2.43 million for the Ramona/Barona recycled water pipeline project.
